Come to Aaltoes Cleantech Safari!

Want to innovate and create a new business, but haven’t found a technology to do it with? No problem! AES is organizing a Safari together with the Technical Research Center of Finland (VTT – www.vtt.fi) and Aalto University. It’s an event where you can get in touch with research teams and their latest inventions.

Interested in fibre-based barrier materials or holographic effects for consumer goods? The theme for this year’s Safari is clean technology, so all the patents will be related to the rising cleantech industry. Come think about ways to commercialise these patents to make the world a cleaner place. Each idea is first presented individually to the audience. After the presentations Safari begins and all participants get access to the presenters.

What can you do?

1. Think of existing problems and challenges in the world related to waste, pollution, energy efficiency, etc.
2. Get familiar with the ideas in the Cleantech Safari presentation list:
- Fibre-based barrier materials for (consumer goods) packages
- Sustainable holographic effects for consumer goods
- Navigational information to electronic chart systems for visualization
- Lightweight context recognition platform for mobile devices
- Production and application of graphene and graphene-based hybrid materials for electronics
- Selecting an access network in a seamless and intelligent way
- Printed energy harvesting system for consumer appliances
- Reduction of CO2 emmissions from steel plants by using steelmaking slags
- Biological treatment of metal containing wastes

Don’t think too much of the technological details, you will be able to talk with the researchers at the Safari. Try to think about general concepts. Be innovative!

3. Get help and form a team with your friends. Search for information together.
4. Come to the Cleantech Safari and talk with the idea presenters. If you have good business ideas for the technology, try to arrange meetings with the presenter and develop the idea.
5. Create a good business concept for the idea. If the concept is good enough, you can get funding to get started. Come to pitch the idea at the next Aaltoes Pitch event.
6. Make the world a cleaner place with your new technology, team and business idea!
